Download or read book Roman Law and the Origins of the Civil Law Tradition written by George Mousourakis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-12-02 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique publication offers a complete history of Roman law, from its early beginnings through to its resurgence in Europe where it was widely applied until the eighteenth century. Besides a detailed overview of the sources of Roman law, the book also includes sections on private and criminal law and procedure, with special attention given to those aspects of Roman law that have particular importance to today's lawyer. The last three chapters of the book offer an overview of the history of Roman law from the early Middle Ages to modern times and illustrate the way in which Roman law furnished the basis of contemporary civil law systems. In this part, special attention is given to the factors that warranted the revival and subsequent reception of Roman law as the ‘common law’ of Continental Europe. Combining the perspectives of legal history with those of social and political history, the book can be profitably read by students and scholars, as well as by general readers with an interest in ancient and early European legal history. The civil law tradition is the oldest legal tradition in the world today, embracing many legal systems currently in force in Continental Europe, Latin America and other parts of the world. Despite the considerable differences in the substantive laws of civil law countries, a fundamental unity exists between them. The most obvious element of unity is the fact that the civil law systems are all derived from the same sources and their legal institutions are classified in accordance with a commonly accepted scheme existing prior to their own development, which they adopted and adapted at some stage in their history. Roman law is both in point of time and range of influence the first catalyst in the evolution of the civil law tradition.

Download or read book An Historical Introduction to Modern Civil Law written by Thomas Glyn Watkin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The civil law systems of continental Europe, Latin America and other parts of the world, including Japan, share a common legal heritage derived from Roman law. However, it is an inheritance which has been modified and adapted over the centuries as a result of contact with Germanic legal concepts, the work of jurists in the mediaeval universities, the growth of the canon law of the western Church, the humanist scholarship of the Renaissance and the rationalism of the natural lawyers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This volume provides a critical appreciation of modern civilian systems by examining current rules and structures in the context of their 2,500 year development. It is not a narrative history of civil law, but an historical examination of the forces and influences which have shaped the form and the content of modern codes, as well as the legislative and judicial processes by which they are created are administered.

Download or read book The Legal Procedure of Cicero s Time written by A H J Greenidge and published by . This book was released on 2015-04-22 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of value to the student of Roman law, criminal and military procedure and the history of European courts. Originally published: Oxford: The Clarendon Press, 1901. xiii, 599 pp. A systematic and historical treatment of the civil and criminal procedure of Cicero's time. At the same time the author examines the legal difficulties and contradictions found in Cicero's writings on procedure. With a subject index and an index to passages found in Cicero's works. Contents include: Civil Procedure, The Courts of the Monarchy and Early Republic, The Courts of the Ciceronian Period and Criminal Procedure. "The book considers the Roman theory of civil procedure, the magistrate and the judex, bringing out clearly the distinction between the two, the function of the latter, and the part of the process which took place before the magistrate. Under the Action are treated, in part two, preliminaries, summons, proceedings in jure, formula, dangers of the formulary system, different kinds of actions... confession, neglect of defence, use of the oath, judicium, execution, appeal and reversal. This part forms an exceedingly interesting and valuable treatise in itself... Part three deals with criminal procedure for the treatment of which Mr. Greenidge has an especial qualification, having already published a valuable treatise on Infamia. In an appendix he gives a detailed legal commentary on four great legal pleas of Cicero, with reference to the systematic portion of the book. All in all, the treatise reflects great credit on the author ... and shows that the seed planted by Maine fifty years ago is producing a fair tree, that in the home of the Common Law, the value of the Roman jurisprudence is better and better understood."-- E.S.S., 49 Am. L. Reg. 556 January to December 1902. Abel Hendy Jones Greenidge [1865-1906] taught Roman law at Oxford and Cambridge. He is the author of Infamia, Its Place in Roman Public and Private Law (1894), A Handbook of Greek Constitutional History (1896) and Roman Public Life (1901).

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Roman Law and Society written by Paul J du Plessis and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-29 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Roman Law and Society surveys the landscape of contemporary research and charts principal directions of future inquiry. More than a history of doctrine or an account of jurisprudence, the Handbook brings to bear upon Roman legal study the full range of intellectual resources of contemporary legal history, from comparison to popular constitutionalism, from international private law to law and society, thereby setting itself apart from other volumes as a unique contribution to scholarship on its subject. The Handbook brings the study of Roman law into closer alignment and dialogue with historical, sociological, and anthropological research into law in other periods. It will therefore be of value not only to ancient historians and legal historians already focused on the ancient world, but to historians of all periods interested in law and its complex and multifaceted relationship to society.
